A FEW YEARS LATER...
NORTH WATCHED AS her blue-haired friend, sporting an enforcer uniform, moved a lint roller up and down her dress, trying to collect as much dust as she could.
"Oh, come on. Really? Surely, she could have just asked you to watch over the showcase or... something else." Caitlyn's protested as North wrapped a hair tie around her hair and tied it back into a low ponytail, letting a few strands of hair hang over her face.
"Sorry, princess. It's direct orders from your mother." North stated with a shrug.
"She's so... ridiculous sometimes. How am I supposed to become an enforcer when I need to have one protecting me all the time?" Caitlyn complained.
North shook her head nonchalantly. "Hey, at least you'll have company, so you won't be bored. Silver lining." She mentioned as she shoved a necklace with a dog tag under her shirt.
"I suppose you're right. I'm glad I was able to choose you as my bodyguard. Having my best friend with me all the time isn't so bad." Caitlyn agreed with a small tease thrown in.
That's what North was now. A personal bodyguard.
After the explosion all those years ago that killed Vander, Mylo, and Claggor and separated North from her underling friends, Silco took over Zaun, and his reign of power was purely awful.
He supplied everyone with a substance called 'shimmer'. It was almost like a drug in some way. It gave people an overly large amount of strength and energy. It was easy to become addicted to it with just one sip.
But it no longer turned people into monsters like what North had seen when shimmer was a fresh and new substance.
Silco clearly spent a lot of time making the finished product into what it was present day.
And so, North returned to her home in Piltover, which was not that affected by the shimmer overload since it was localized to the undercity only.
There, she trained to become an enforcer just like she had planned.
As much as the thought of becoming part of such an oppressive force bugged her, North did it for two reasons: to bring some reason into the system and to work on investigations related to Silco.
She hoped to find out more about him and maybe do something to stop his crazy reign, but she was unable to. Her and the other enforcers who worked on Silco investigations would always turn up with nothing. North never knew why.
She also wasn't really making too much of a difference in the force. She was merely one woman among a large amount of people with corrupt ideals and believes who were far too intolerant to hear her out.
